[quote user="kasskaboose"]White glue mixed with water (50/50) works well for securing track.  I put a bead of 100% white glue and pressed it down with cans to keep it while the glue dried.  Using white glue is great because you can easily remove the track by wetting it and slowly prying up the track.[/quote] Except if you were to go back and glue ballast later, your track will come up.  White glue, even after several years can be removed by your wetting agent during the ballasting process.   I used Liquid Nails for projects.  I was able to salvage 90% of flex track (95 percent of the rail made it) and every single turnout on the railroad when I moved last fall.  As long as you dont over do the liquid nails, everything will come up with the gentle application of a metal putty knife.   The 5 unsalvageable was ballasted in a tunnel or where I used too much liquid nails to glue the track down. Incidentally, you can use liquid nails for the entire project: foam/risers cork and track.
